Chesapeake's appetite

Recommended Posts

Tell her she's a Lab and she'll start chewing on shoes instead! hehehe You probably need to catch her in the act and stop the activity. Also get her in the habit of chewing only on Nylabones or cow hooves or something substantial.

Good Luck! Ken

And for goodness sakes don't let 'em eat corn cobs. My 18 month old must have ate one about a week ago and it became lodged firmly in his bowels. Now he has about 15 staples in his stomache that cost me about 100 bucks each! Dosn't bother him though...3 days later he's walking around the house with a frisbee using the "pity me" eyes to try and get someone to throw it for him.

Prolly have to sell the boat you sold me just to pay the vet bill!

PS - the plug was in the boat. And I thought you said driving a boat onto a trailer was easy. I know there was a certain dock fisherman at a certain public landing in southern Minnesota this past Saturday that would testify to my lack of boat handling skills after that one! To bad I can't practice that in my driveway.

I swear, I think my dog is part beaver. She eats every single dry stick she can find. Has anyone had this problem, if so how did you remedy it? Sometimes I swear I could use her stools for fire starters! Thanks for any info.

Welcome to the world of wood eaters!!! it seems to be a necessary part of their diet. Mine does it too. As long as it is not treated wood, too sharp, or painted you are doing well. There does not seem to be a good substitute that they choose to chew up either. Better than table legs and window sills!

The "park switch" may be the cause of the parasitic draw on some of the console equipped models,
it's an inexpensive switch that sends a shutdown signal to the BCM. When it goes bad the dash lights do not shut off and it drains the battery.
Fords fix is to replace the whole shifter assembly at around $650.00, they do not sell just the switch.
Here is the replacement switch with an more detailed explanation of why it happens.

After starting out the winter with a lack of snow February is making up for it. Earlier in the week the southern half of the state received 4 to 6 inches of snow and in the last couple of days the north and northwest received from 4 to 8 inches of snow.Snowmobile trails are now open in most, but not all, counties across the state with conditions rated as good or excellent in many counties on the Wisconsin Department of Tourism's Snow Conditions Report (exit DNR). Many state properties were regrooming cross-country ski trails and ski trail conditions ranged from good to excellent. Some freezing rain fell in the south after the snow, resulting in some icy conditions in some locations. Temperatures are expected to warm this weekend, especially in the south where more rain is also in the forecast, while the north is expected to get more snow.With all the recent snow, conditions should be excellent for the American Birkebeiner Ski Race this weekend in the Hayward-Cable area. It is the largest ski race in North America and attracts thousands of skiers from all over the country and world -- skiers from 49 states and 36 countries participated in 2018 -- and draws tens of thousands of spectators to the area.

......The 6 packages from the first round are long-gone, so I am brining up another batch. Ended up buying an entire case of butts (@ $1.18 per #) from Sams. I am going to do 3 butts - one with High Mtn buckboard seasoning and two with another dry brine consisting of Tenderquick, brown sugar, garlic salt, and black pepper. I always like getting to the raw ingredients of spices versus relying on someones "magic rub". If it goes badly I will revert back to the HM cure. As an added note, I also picked up a $20 loin that I put HM cure on to experiment with some Canadian bacon.... Will check back in 10 days or so!
